M. Martens is the writer of the Poe thriller series, including Poe: Nevermore (2013), a First Place winner in Chanticleer Book
Reviews and Media’s Paranormal Awards, as well as the short horror collection Midnight Hour (2017) and the novel Metalhead (2019). Martens resides in Wisconsin and travels
extensively, taking inspiration from the locales she has visited and the books
she has read along the way. Her favorite time to write is in the midnight
hours with a storm as background music and a mug of tea close at hand. Of
her writing, Chanticleer Book Reviews and Media has said, "Ms. Martens
succeeds at painting dark, suspenseful, sometimes horrific pictures. It
is the kind of psychological horror that locking the doors and windows and
reading with the lights on will not keep out."
